Chapter <b>129 </b>
ok my time looking through the menus before settling <b>on </b>a Chinese ce we all <b>liked</b><b>, </b>and Drew ced our order. Since we had almost half an <b>hoor </b>before our food arrived, I decided to bring up a question that had been on my mind for a while.
<b>“</b><b>So </b><b>what </b><b>do </b>we do know?” I asked, addressing the question to everyone.
“What do you mean, baby girl? Josh asked.
“I mean, I’m safe from my father, so that problem has been taken care of, hut your dad <b>and </b>my <b>mom </b>are still missing. What do we do about that?” I Inoked at the four brothers. <b>I </b>knew they all loved their father<b>, </b>and I didn’t want to sound uncaring because of my nonexistent rtionship with my mother. At the same time, I wanted to escape this city and all its had memories<b>; </b>I wanted a life with all six of us, somewhere that we could all be happy. How did I say that withouting off and sounding heartless and uncating?
It turned out Drew had an answer. We are meeting with our family attorney, Mr. Shannon,ter this week; he will know what steps we need to take After that we will continue with our <b>ns </b>like before. We are going to find a house <b>for </b>us, and as soon as we <b>can</b>, we will move there. I don’t think <b>any </b>of us feel trulyfortable staying here especially with how easily you were taken. He paused, ncing at the other guys, who all nodded in agreement. “We want you safe,fortable, and happy, and we will go wherever we need to aplish that,” The others nodded in agreement again, and I felt my eyes sting with unshed tears. They loved me enough to leave everything they built behind to ensure I was safe and happy.
“Sweetheart, why are you crying?” Jake <b>asked</b>, moving to pull me into a hug. All I could do <b>was </b>sniffle into his shoulder; it took me a few minutes to speak.
You <b>are </b>all willing to give up everything you have here to ensure <b>I’m </b>safe, but I can’t let you do that. You have built so much here; I won’t ask you to leave it all behind,” I said with a trembling voice.
“Love, we would do anything for you; if you want to leave the city, line, move to <b>the </b>other end of the country, <b>great</b>, wherever we need to go for us to be happy, we will,” Patrick said firmly.
“We will work it <b>out</b>,” Mike promised.
“Besides, there were several houses we <b>saw </b>that we liked. After the meeting with <b>Mr. </b>Shannon, we will get serious about finding a ce just for us.” Jake promised, and I nodded.
“Thank you<b>, </b>all of you,” I said, my voice still a little shaky. Before I could say anything else, all the guy’s phones went off, and aputerized voice announced loudly that someone was approaching the front door. I jumped at the sound, my heart racing, and a squeak escaped my lips before I could stop it.
<b>“</b>Sorry, Em. <b>We </b>forgot to warn you that we upgraded the security system,” Drew said as he stood. Coming over to me, he tugged me from Jake’s arms <b>and </b>wrapped me in his own, giving me a quick kiss before heading out to get the food. The smell of hot Chinese food made my stomach rumble again, but 1 ignored the teasing <b>as </b>I followed the others into the kitchen, where Drew was unpacking the takeout containers.
In no time, we were settled with tes of food<b>, </b>and the guys were <b>bickering </b>about what movie to watch. My only contribution to the <b>argument </b>was to remind them of no horror movies. They finally settled on <b>a </b>superhero movie we had all watched before, and I just giggled before digging into my te of food
After we finished eating and cleaned up, we sat back down to finish the movie, <b>that </b>is when I noticed the twins sitting next to each other whispering and asionally ncing at me. I had a feeling they were plotting something, but I just shook my head and left them to it. I got drawn into the movie, and it wasn’t until the credits were rolling that the twins approached me.
“Hey Em, <b>can </b>youe with us for a minute we wanted to show you something.”ke asked with an innocent smile on his face. I nced at Josh but he had the same innocent look as his brother.
*Come on baby girl, its nothing bad I promise.” Josh said reaching for my hand. I let Josh pull me to my feet, and before I could move <b>jake </b>had swept
up
In his arms, I <b>gave </b><b>a </b>startled squeak and thew my arms around his neck, before looking over at the remaining three guys who were are smiling <b>and </b>quietly chuckling.
“<b>What’s </b>so funny?” I asked, but <b>before </b>any of them could answer jake was carrying <b>me </b>down the hall toward my room, with Josh right behind him.
Josh followed us into my <b>room </b>kicking the door closed with his foot before following his brother over to my bed. “Come on you two <b>whats </b>going on? What did you want to show me?” I was very curious, but neither one of them was giving me the slightest hint about what they <b>had </b>wanted to show me.
“It’s something <b>for </b><b>all </b>of us really, but you will probably get the most pleasure from it.” Josh said
“Yeah that doesn’t narrow it down any, I grumbled.
“It’s something we had thought about getting y
you before all of this happened, we ordered it and it was delivered while you were in the hospital so we set it aside to give to you when you came home.” Jake continued.
“Ok still no clue, please tell me I don’t have to y twenty questions to figure this out.” I whined at them.
I
“Nope baby girl, but you do need to close your eyes and hold <b>out </b>your hand.” Josh told me. I nodded before moving further back onto the bed. When I wasfortable I closed out my eyes, and held out my hands.
“No peaking,” Josh scolded.
“I’m not, see,” I snarked moving my hand back and forth in front of my closed eyes.
“<b>Brat</b><b>, </b>Joshughed as Jake came to stand beside him.
“Here, but you have to guess before you look.”ke said before cing my surprise in my hand. I slowly closed my hand around it, and I was blushing within seconds.
“Oh. My. God. Did you guys really buy <b>me </b>a sex toy?” I squeaked just as I opened <b>my </b>eyes and stared down at the bright purple vibrator clutched in my hands.
